Description
The beta on this route is a little confusing; the Dick Williams guides variously list one or more pitches. If there is in fact a second pitch, it evidently never gets climbed, judging by the loose rock and lichen. That having been said, Scuttlebutt is definitely a worthwhile climb, especially when the more popular routes are occupied.
A challenging start goes up a face with sparse pro, trending left to a nose. Follow this nose and the face climbing above it to a spacious belay ledge with a pine tree.

Location
Scuttlebutt starts about 15' left of Day Tripper corner, and just right of the obvious nose. The popular landmark in this section is Easter Time Too.
Descent: Rap down from the pine tree.
